Hello,
Can a VPN be used on a per instance basis or once installed it has

used for all (browser) use?
A VPN is a network connection that (usually) appears just like
another network interface.
It can be configured to send all traffic elsewhere, or traffic
to a particular set of networks.
If you run one with proxy support, then you can have a
particular browser (with proxy support) use the VPN, and nothing
else.
Technology can be configured in a large number of ways.

Some web sites I want to continue visiting as I do now. Amazon.com for
example. There is at least one other site I sometimes want to visit
but am blocked because of my location. It is my understanding that
using a VPN to access this site allows my location and IP address to
be changed so I wouldn't be blocked.
Best regards,
Fred
I have found that changing my VPN to a new location allows some web
sites that weren't allowed at the previous location.
